What do the rest of you use this attribute of tables/columns for? I'm torn between:

1. technical info/reminder for me
2. hint for user
3. user friendly name when creating filters/selects rather than field names

I feel very tempted to go down that route and strip all the descriptions off.

Hi Roy,

I use it like it says .. a description Smilefrom which Mike B's *excellent*
Context Database Designer (and an XSLT I wrote) produces a nicely formatted
data dictionary.

Happy 2008!

Me neither. If you don't understand the nice field name, a description
won't help.
